My unfinished Syncasaurus project [1] could convert your IE bookmarks to
Netscape or XBEL (and back again). You could then stick that into BKSite.
Assuming you grab the latest CVS, this would be the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib './modules/';

use Bookmarks;
use Bookmarks::IE;
use Bookmarks::Mozilla;
use Bookmarks::XBEL;
use Log::Simple;

my $bookmarks = load_bookmarks("/Windows/Favorites");
print convert_to_moz_bookmarks($bookmarks);

Saving as "convert.pl", this would work on Dos/Linux:

perl convert.pl > bookmarks.html

If you need any help with it, lemme know. It's unfinished code, but a
number of people who have been a fan of my AmphetaDesk have loved
Syncasaurus (psst! how do you like the logo? [2]).
